Next week is the Library book sale.  The proceeds from the book sale is the main source of funds for the children's books for the year.  There are a lot of books, from poetry to children's books.  There are romances, classic literature, biographies, best sellers, history and more.  This year we also have some audio books on tape and videocassette tapes.  Remember the book sale June 7th,  8th and 10th .

During the course of the year we loose loved ones and family and friends like to remember them with a donation.  Remember the library when considering a donation.  In the past we have purchased books, furniture and equipment for the library.  The books that we purchase can be designated by the family to purchase a specific book or type of book, for example: mysteries, art books, cookbooks, books on hunting or a sport.  Every book purchased for a memorial donation has a book plate placed inside the front cover. All donations are greatly appreciated.

Summer reading kicks off on June 10th.  If you are able to volunteer for one or two hours a week during the program, please contact Kristie or Beth at 649-1648.  Remember that the 10th is the kick-off day but you can register anytime during the program.  Parents or caregivers must come in to register the students. 

Congratulations to all of the graduating seniors especially to our library page, Molly Ouvry.  May they all find success in the occupations they have chosen to follow. 

Until next week,

John
  

It's been awhile

It has been awhile since I posted here last, so let's catch up.

The Adult Winter Reading Program is over and the top winners have been listed on our homepage.  The big prize this year was a night at the Kalamazoo House bed & breakfast and a gift card for dinner at the Great Lakes Shipping Co.  

We are gearing up for Summer Reading.  The first day to sign up will be on June 10 and continue everyday through the program.  The first program, Binder Park Zoo, will be on Wednesday, June 12, at 2:00 p.m.  This programs you need to register to attend.  Because of the animals the performers ask that the number of people who can attend is limited to 120.
We will also have programs for pre-schoolers as well as the elementary students.  We do need volunteers to help out on all the programs, between 4-6 per program would help us a lot.

Miss Beth kicks off her Tween/Teen part of the program with a Zombie Prom on Tues, June 11.  Dress as a zombie and we will have volunteers to apply the make-up for the proper zombie look.

We invite everyone to take part in the summer reading festival this year.  Parents need to register their children.  As in past years, we do offer the Summer Reading Card, for those students who do not live in the Vicksburg District Library service area.

That's all for today,

I will write again next week
